Pitching Tips
Keep these essential points in mind when you pitch an article to us:
Topic Choice: Your article should match the interests of our audience. We welcome topics in areas like:
➼ Branding
➼ Content Marketing
➼ Social Media
➼ Search Engine Optimization
➼ Digital Advertising
➼ Online Reputation Management
Backed by Research: Your claims should be supported with solid data and statistics. Remember to include links to trustworthy sources and ensure all your information is cited.
Keyword Smart: Pick a keyword that people would use to find your topic in a search, and use it in your title and throughout your article. But remember, don’t overdo it.
Cover All Bases: Your article should thoroughly address the topic if you explain how to do something, detail every step, and leave no stone unturned.
More on What We Expect in Your Article
Guides: This should be instructional, offering clear directions, perhaps with templates or checklists.
Best Practices: These should be about techniques or strategies proven to work well.
Tech Tools: If you’re writing about a tool or technology, please advise on how to use it effectively. Note that we don’t accept promotional posts for other products or posts with affiliate links.
What We Don’t Accept
We have a few straightforward rules about what doesn’t cut:
No Repeat Content: It’s not for us if published anywhere else, including your blog. And if we’ve already tackled the topic, bring something new to the conversation.
Keep Promises: Clickbait is off-limits. Make sure your content delivers on what the headline promises.
Strictly No Hidden Promotions: We don’t publish posts that serve as undercover ads, including those with affiliate links.
Information Over Self-Promotion: Articles that promote your services don’t need to be more suitable. If you include a case study or a call to action for your services, save it for your site. Links to your blog are okay if they’re relevant and add value to the content. Remember, our readers come first.
Current Insights Only: Your submission should be fresh and created for us. We expect content crafted post-approval, not something pulled from the archives.
What else is out of scope?
Not a Newsroom: We’re not the place for articles that read like news releases or cover appointments, contracts, awards, or product announcements. Our readers come for learning and inspiration, not news.
No Vague Offers: Generic “write about anything” offers don’t meet our readers’ needs for expert insights into specific fields.
Actual Authorship: We attribute the content to the writer who submits it, not to any clients you may represent.
Submission Guidelines for Digital Delane
Your article will be considered for publication with Digital Delane only if it meets all of the below criteria:
Topic Relevance: Ensure the subject of your article is valuable to our audience and aligns with topics we deem necessary (refer to our preferred topics list).
Article Quality: The article should be insightful, written in a friendly tone, and provide a clear benefit or learning point for the reader.
Word Count: Your submission needs to be comprehensive, with a minimum length of 2,000 words.
Originality: We accept only new, original content explicitly crafted for Digital Delane. Once your article is published on our site, it must not be republished elsewhere.
Sourcing: Include proper citations for your sources and relevant links that substantiate your points.
SEO: Integrate a specific target keyword to help your article rank better in search engines.
Visual Aids: Provide images, screenshots, or diagrams to illustrate concepts and guide readers clearly through your explanations.
Pitch Consistency: The article delivered should be the one you promised in your pitch – stick to the agreed-upon topic.
Single Topic: When pitching, be concise and propose only one subject to focus on.
Community Interaction: To foster community discussion, be prepared to engage with and respond to comments on your article for at least a week after its publication.
Adhering to these guidelines ensures a smoother submission process and helps us maintain the high-quality content our readers expect from Digital Delane.
Style Guidelines
Though we don’t adhere to a strict style manual for guest contributions, Digital Delane still has expectations regarding the presentation of your article.
Here’s how to ensure your submission grabs and holds our readers’ attention:

Paragraph Structure: Start a new paragraph when shifting focus. Paragraphs may vary in length but should remain on point.
